To help endangered animals, the Endangered Animal Coalition has a few suggestions. Visiting a national wildlife refuge, park or other open space can help you learn more about animals and their habitats. Recycling and using more sustainable products keeps garbage out of habitats. And keep an eye out for your own local endangered animals and find out how you can get involved in helping them.
